'''''Ficus virens''''' is a plant of the genus ''[[Ficus]]'' found in India, southeast Asia, through Malaysia and into Northern Australia. Its common name is '''White Fig'''; it is locally known as '''''pilkhan''''' and in the [[Gun-djeihmi]] language it is called '''''an-borndi'''''. Like many figs, its fruits are edible. One of the most famous specimens of this tree is the [[Curtain Fig Tree]] of the [[Atherton Tableland]], near Cairns, a popular tourist attraction. [[Ficus virens var. sublanceolata]] occurs the subtropical rainforest of northeastern [[New South Wales]], and south eastern [[Queensland]] in [[Australia]]. It is a medium sized tree which grows to a height of 24- 27m in [[New Delhi]] and up to 32m tall in wetter areas. This tree is a fig tree belonging to the group of trees known as strangler figs, which is because its seeds can germinate on other trees and grow to strangle and eventually kill the host tree. This tree has become popular as an avenue tree in and around the cities of [[New Delhi]] and [[Noida]]. It has two marked growth periods in its Indian environment: in spring (February to early May), and in the time of the monsoon rains (i.e June to early September). The new leaves are a beautiful shade of reddish pink and very pleasing to the eye. This is a very massive tree in which the size of the crown can sometimes exceed the height of the tree. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Coppersmith Barbet on Pilkhan Tree I IMG 8185.jpg| photo 1 File:Leaves I IMG 9786.jpg| photo 2 File:Ficus virens fruit.jpg| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
